Dear WhatsApp, Let’s break-up…

Its been a while since I saw the orange sky in the morning. Thanks to you, I get to see the sun in a barrage of good morning messages.

Every morning, you buzz with messages. When do I take out time to watch the sunrise?

I don’t remember the last time when I did my Kardarshan prayers. My morning begins with your darshan and my day ends with staring at you.

Kardarshan – Morning Prayer

New Age Kardarshan

WhatsApp, I don’t remember when I stretched out my arms and touched nothing. Every time I stretch, its only to check whether you have a new message for me.

My hands are never empty. Only because of you, my stretches are incomplete.

You have divided my friends into groups and sub-groups. I have the same friends in multiple groups and all of the groups have similar forwarded messages. To top it, I don’t even remember half the people in my school groups. I am part of family groups – less said the better.

So many groups – so many conversations

So many Groups & Sub Groups – Uff

Thanks to you, I cannot attend a party, event or any function or even eat without updating you with a story. That is because, if I don’t, then the event never happened.

I have to live up to the expectations of my contacts. Updating the status is mandatory. Why????

Why WhatsApp, WHY have you made me a slave to your awesomeness?

So many amazing features…. Why? Why? Why?

All my clients love using you. Screenshots of conversations are saved as proof. I have client groups and internal groups – thanks to you. Each time you buzz, I shudder to think what new bomb is going to explode on the work group. You have made me a scared and insecure person, WhatsApp – I hate you.

There are two sides of every story

I am done. I don’t want to be with you anymore. You are the biggest time waster that has ever been created. Never ever do I want to see you on my phone again. Completely tired of your constant buzzing.

That’s it! I am breaking up with you

The other day, when your servers were down, I went completely crazy. Couldn’t understand why you would do something like this to me? Do you even know how it is to live without seeing you every 2 minutes?

Do you even know what it is like to not see you ?

WhatsApp – I go crazy without you

Let’s break-up WhatsApp. Please. Just go away from my life. I don’t need you. Love for you is addictive and harming my peace. Let’s end this relationship NOW.

Let’s break-up and write a WhatsApp status message about it. Should I put a video as well?

(1 hour later)

Just reinstalled. Couldn’t survive.

I LOVE YOU!

I love you WhatsApp

I love you – very much

Haha.. this was a hilarious post. I was gaping at the number of groups you’re a member of Mayura, Gosh that must be something huh. That’s the reason I have only very, very limited groups. I agree I cannot do away with Whatsapp, not because of addiction, but I find it extremely convenient in keeping in touch as m hardly a calling-person, but more of a messaging-person. So, whatsapp saves me a lotta times. 🙂

WoW for sure it’s such a huge challenge. I would call you a voyeur and immediately after you wrote it, we experienced an ugliness shared by many on whatsapp reeking with lies on a public figure. It has dehumanized us in a way. You pen has so much power, humility and voice of reason.

I have been wanting to do this since a while now but havn’t mustered the courage to.. What has worked for me is switching off the notifications – all of them. If someone needs something urgent I’m sure they can and will call..(most of my friends know that I don’t check WhatsApp frequently) everything else can wait :).

After reading The incomplete kiss, now Im a fan of your blog..a dedicated reader 🙂
the flow is amazing..and so nicely written it is. The harsh reality of our life. And the client part is same for me also 😦

You have so perfectly depicted the lives of people today and their addiction to social media, especially Whatsapp! Occasionally i do love doing a detox from it all and believe me it usually is the toughest time…but sometimes it is needed.
